Hey Rath, first and foremost thanks for posting this build. Its been great fun.

I have one question for you boss.

I am running currently at 176 mana regen , and I'm running Artic armour at level 15 which takes 147.7 mana per second while moving. And for some reason I cannot sustain it. I don't understand why. IF I keep moving I eventually run out of mana.

How is that possible?

Would love an explanation. Thanks :)

Did you needed the IM to be activate and it didn't?
It means you didn't take any damage so there is no point of it to activate.
The gem combo is to protect you from physical reflect, not to have 100% up time.

Well i wanted to survive packs that have strong lightning dmg against me because i have trouble with lightning atm. Res is low and i havent got good RES items. So i needed IM to active constantly with endu-cry !

By the way Got 18k armour with flask + molten = 78% dmg reduce and still cant tank dominus lightning shot ... He 1 hit me. It's because i have that low Lightning res ?

IM only protects vs physical damage :), not elemental or chaos damage.
Read the tooltip.

Then why do you expect IM to protect you vs lightning damage?
Get more res, you should be capped at all times.

Hey mate.

Please take a look at the 3 passives at the left here: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUAGjg62FnzfLuExIrkkFWSfZhvm-ynhK9swBrFiuXP7Dg=

They only take 2 +10 STR points and we get:

x2 One Handed Critical Strike Chance
30% increased Critical Strike Chance with One Handed Melee Weapons

Disemboweling
80% increased Critical Strike Chance with One Handed Melee Weapons

So with a Dagger (which has high base crit chance already) we get a crazy 140% Crit Chance for 3 points which means 7% Crit Chance for EK if I'm right. Ofc we are limited to use Daggers but... it might be worth?

Despite the fact that it does physical damage, Ethereal Knives is a spell and not an attack. It does not utilize weapon damage in any way, even if you use daggers.

So no, taking any crit or damage nodes for ANY WEAPON would be a complete waste of points. The only passives which affect it are global and spell crit damage/multiplier ones.
